I doubt it pays much better, the issue might be partially the distribution, but mainly that they are too cheap.

While it isn’t a lot more in general it is still about three times of Spotify. It also takes into consideration which artists you actually stream afaik, so that your money goes more towards those.

Look like Tidal pays 4x more than Spotify on average. For small artists, it's likely hundreds of times more.
